Filmmaker Gregory Orr joins the podcast to discuss the new updated release of his documentary film JACK L. WARNER: THE LAST MOGUL which has been remastered in HD for an all-new digital and DVD release with extras.

We start our discussion with Greg's remembrances of his step-grandfather and the origins of the documentary back in 1992. Greg then details his family history, including how Jack met his grandmother, his silent film star great-grandfather, his parents acting careers, and his father's time as the head of Warner Bros Television.

We conclude our discussion with a review of the updates to this new version of the documentary, some of the new content that has been added, and the extras available on the new DVD.

Warner Bros George Feltenstein and author Alan K. Rode lead us in a nostalgic discussion of the legacy of "Casablanca."

Our discussion begins with a personal look at the impact this film has had on each of our guests over the years. Then Alan K. Rode, author of "Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film" takes us on a review of the origins of the film, including the purchase of the unpublished play "Everybody Comes to Rick's" by producer Hal Wallis. The discussion continues with insights into the various writers, the direction of Michael Curtiz, and the relationship between Hal Wallis and studio head Jack Warner. George Feltenstein also details some of the remastering work done on the picture and sound for the new 4K release. Our discussion finishes with a review of the music and the score by Max Steiner, and a detailed look at the impact of the film on the legacies of director Michael Curtiz and actors Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
